Abstract:

The greatest part of the Pacific coast of Middle America from Mexico to Costa Rica, and thereby of El Salvador, lies in the trade wind belt with purely westerly currents. Therefore, these currents, as part of the North Equatorial Currents, are westerly for the entire year and are constant and durable. The hydrographic structure of this region is described and presented in six vertical cross-sections current velocity, temperature, salinity, oxygen, phosphate and suspended particles. Essentially used as a basis for this study are the observations made on the research ship ALBATROSS in 1947. Author
